Concerned Residents for a Safer Ancaster now!

"As a concerned resident of Ancaster, I am writing to you to bring to your attention that there has been an increase in criminal activity in our area ranging from petty theft to armed carjackings in broad daylight, and gunfire on residential streets.

There has been minimal police presence in Ancaster for years, yet we have the highest taxes in the Greater Hamilton area.

For the increasing population in this area, there should be a police detachment located in Ancaster. At the moment we have only two officers assigned per shift, which is completely unacceptable.

We chose to live here because we thought it was a safe area to raise our families and now we can't even leave our vehicles outside without the risk of them being vandalized or broken into. The increasingly violent events over the past week are frightening for our community and we expect you, as our elected officials, to represent our needs."
